Comaster Feather Stars are found in various marine environments, including coral reefs, rocky shores, and seagrass beds. They are primarily found in shallow waters, although some species can be found in deeper oceanic environments. Comaster Feather Stars are filter feeders, using their pinnules to capture plankton and detritus from the surrounding water. They extend their arms into the water column and use the cilia on their pinnules to create currents that draw in particles. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.
Comaster gracilis Sea Stars may also be known as Feather Sea Stars, Feather Stars or Feather Starfish. Feather stars like Comaster gracilis are not typically collected by marine enthusiasts or collectors. They are more commonly observed in their natural habitat as they are free-swimming echinoderms found in marine environments. Comaster gracilis come in a variety of colors, including shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, brown, and sometimes even white or other pastel hues. These Sea Stars can grow up to 6".
